Hello my Friends,
Welcome to my Light test Lemonade diary. Its a test as i bought this light last year to finish flowering after my Mars died, its actually the ISH100E but for some reason thats not on GD yet.
This diary is just a mini grow to try and get used to the light as about a month ago i put some tomatoes in the tent and fried the shit out of them on relatively low power, there are still some left recovering which will use the rest of the tent.
Im hoping to get a handle on the light and sample some nice Lemonade before going onto a bigger grow, also im a purple addict so looking forward to this one 😊
Anyway hope you enjoy my little diary 😊✌️
Happy Thursday Friends,
Well where to start, ive really battled humidity this week with constant rain in the UK and have put a mini dehumidifier in the tent. Im not running a fan and filter as the one ive got is noisy and eats electric, so just venting as well with a mini fan.
I didn't mention last week but got a new tent and ditched the old holey crap one, really pleased with the built quality and thats theres mounting for the control panel 😊
In terms of growth she started getting leggy at the beginning of the week as the light was to low about 40%, i added additional soil and put to 50%, she then stabilised and ive been watching and increasing slightly every day, the lights currently on 60%. I'm going to leave there for now as she seems happy and is finishing her second set of leaves.
Overall shes had good growth this week and happy with the progress.
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello my Friends,
Well theres been a few issues this week.
I've actually missed most of the week as i went on holiday for four days, not the most ideal time i know but i gave the pot a good watering before i left. However before setting off i booted tge plug with the light controllers usb wire in and managed to snap off the usb part of the wire, as i live in the stix so i then had to make a 20 mile round trip to nearest hardware store to buy a variable volage muti adapter 😑
Also shes in normal potting compost so dispite having perlite and being watered a week ago the pots still holding water, i may have to repot for drainage but we'll see how we go. Lastly its been a pain trying to keep humidy down as its still constantly raining here in the UK, without tge dehumidifier its at a constant 90%
Apart from all that shes had good growth this week, the lights been on 60% but im gonna step it up to 70% during the next as she seems to be doing ok, shes had another dose of great white and when she dries out im going to give her a light dose of feed as the fb website says shes a light feeder. I've also decided to top her and have her as a little 4 pronged bush 😊
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello my Friends,
Well shes had a difficult week but lessons have been learnt, tge main one being don't use cheap potting compost in a plastic pot 🤣
Her leaves kept suffering and during the week i took her out of the pot, basically she was drowing from poor drainage and ive now put her in a 1 gal fabric pot and although the soil remains the same she perked up.
Also i cranked the light to 75% thinking she could take it, but the leaves then started exibiting light stress including the tips of the new growth. Ive put it back down to 68% and im deffo learning the boudries of this new light, which is good.
Shes had a light feed and more great white and despite problems caused by me is bouncing back well from the topping, new shoots have popped up fast and i think we're gonna be just fine.
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello Friends,
Well they call them fastbuds for a reason and this gal is now flowering, ive removed lowest two branches and tied down two top ones to give me four bud sites.
Shes still suffering but the new growth is a bit healthier however i had to dial the light down a bit further again to about 60% as she isn't happy.
I think that these new Evo chips are just super powerful and it takes allot less wattage to get the same results as ive got a pepper and chilli plant seedling in the tent which are thriving but that are even further away from the light. This is good news for electric costs but this light is still hard to adjust too, more grows are deffo gonna be needed to get the hang of this thing!
Ive given her another dose of great white this week and hopefully she'll stretch a bit more for my pocket nug sample 🤣
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by✌️
Hello Friends Happy Thursday,
Well i think this week has been a bit better, although i know shes not lookin much healthier.
At the begining of the week she was still showing stress so ive backed the light off 1inch and were now down to 58%, i think given a better start and substrate the plant would deffo be able to handle more light but im keeping it low and slow so that i can keep her going ok.
Shes had a shot of flowering nutes yesterday at 1/4 strength, she seems to have responded well and overall has been drinking more 😊
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello my Friends,
Well weve had another tricky week in the tent, its been raining continually and battling humidy has been difficult in the room. Also from her light feed last week nute burn started on the tips and started travelling up the leaves, of which she had few, i had to flush her and it seems to have stoppd now.
On a plus note the buds seem to be developing ok and are bulking up, those sweet sweet trichs are now starting to glisten and i just need too keep this ship steady so that i can get her to finish for my sample!
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Happy Thursday Friends,
Well firstly i thought id stopped the burn last week, but it continued and i had to flush her again.
Nevermind im actually feeling a bit more positive this week as the buds have filled out more, and although shes not the prettiest gall in the shop i think she'll be tasty, i accidently brushed a bud in the week and was getting really sour lemon smell. The odour in general has really ramped up as well and as im not using an extractor ive had to put onor gel outside the room.
Fastbuds state that she goes purple in the last weeks of flowering, but i dont think i can get the temps low enough and shes not showing any at the moment.
Overall happy with the week and just waiting for her to mature so i can sample her sweet sweet candy 😊
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello my Friends,
Weve had a good week, the buds on her have filled out a bit more, are starting to mature faster and pistils are turning brown 😊
Shes just had plain water this week and just holding her steady until the finish line, this gal is absolutely honking now but funnily enough my partner hasnt noticed 🤣
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
Hello my friends,
Well shes started maturing a bit more this week, the buds have definitely grown a bit and shes popped out a few new pistils as others turn brown.
Funilly enough shes now also trying to turn purple in her last legs and is getting darker, some of the sugar leaves are going slightly purple so i may have some purplish bud yet 😅
Ive checked the trichomes and they're clouding over but are still slightly glassy, i recon shes got another couple of weeks at most. Shes can't have much energy left in the yellowing leaves but this gals trooping on!
Overall really impressed with this strains resiliance and shes had a good week.
Thats all from me i hope you all have a good week also 😊🙏
Hello Friends,
Well i think this gals just running on pure adrenalin now and the small amount of chlorophyll left in her sugar leaves. Trichomes are mostly cloudy but shes not quite there yet and i really want her to go a bit further, but im not sure how much more she can give!
The smell is now very intense and although this wont be a big sample i can't wait to taste her sweet candy 😊
Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by😊✌️
Hello My Friends,
Well shes come to the end and ive given her the chop a couple of days ago. I've done what i set out to do and learnt the boundaries of this light which is already helping with my next grows 😊
Ive done minimum trimming and just taken off a few of the sugar leaves which had burn and the older yellow leaves. Something slightly strange is that as well as a sour lemon smell theres kind off almost a rubber type smell as well which ive never had with the erb. If anyone else has had this before please comment?
The harvest will be small due to my own mistake of substrate but although this gal never really recovered she stood up to it like a champ, theres enough there for me to have a nice little toot and il update with weight when dry and shes been curing for a bit.
Thank you to Fastbuds and also to my growmies who commented and liked.
Stay safe and thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
**********************
Update: So this gals been curing for 2 weeks and will continue for another2. So ended up with just under an 1/8, not allot but i don't consume much these days so it will still last me a while.
I tried her in the vape this eve and shes kinda a creeper strain, i started smoking and thought wow this strains really mild but pleasant uplifting and sociable . She tastes lemon and herbal and light, she then kicks in about half hour later with anice medium to heavy stone with red eye and munchies and then trasitions into a nice warm body sedititive high which is cozy and pleasant. Not stupid powerful bit a plesant kick smoke 😊
All in all i really like this one and will be growing again 😊
